Chapter 66: Little Brother (Seeking Monthly Votes, Recommendations, and Followers)_1



The procedures were handled very quickly.

Sun San followed Pei Jinye’s words practically to the letter, which made Pei’s Elderly Couple repeatedly glance sideways, wondering if Captain Sun, despite his deference to Principal Wang, really needed to go to such lengths?

“Uncle Pei, please keep these agreements safe; they are protected by Federation law, and no one would dare forcibly take them away. Otherwise, they’ll be facing a lawsuit,” Sun San said courteously as he passed a copy of the agreements.

Father Pei, an old actor, signaled his wife to keep the agreements, then reached out his hand with a natural smile on his face: “Captain Sun, we’ll really have to trouble you in the future.”

“Uncle Pei, you’re too kind. This is all part of my duties,” Sun San said as he clasped Father Pei’s proffered hand with both of his own.

His attitude bore no trace of his previous pride and wilfulness, almost as if he wished he could smile a flower onto his face.

Afterward, Sun San took Pei Jinye and his family to the Food Street Administrative Council building, making a point to introduce, “According to the rules, contractors have half of the governing rights, so we will arrange an office for you. I have specifically chosen a good location for you and the Elderly Couple…”

As he spoke, he stepped aside, allowing Pei Jinye and his family to enter a luxuriously cleaned office overnight.

“It has access to a large balcony with plenty of sunlight, and there’s even a bedroom inside. I have arranged for a large bed to be set up so Uncle Pei can rest when you’re tired. The cafeteria is just in the building next door, on the third floor, and here are your passes; everything has been prepared for the two of you,” Sun San explained, very considerately.

Sun San had thought of every detail.

It wouldn’t have been surprising if he had knelt down and called Father Pei “Dad.”

It was something the old couple found somewhat uncomfortable to adjust to, to the point that Father Pei almost couldn’t carry on with the act.

After leaving the administrative building.

Sun San cautiously followed Pei Jinye, whispering, “Brother Pei, do you find my arrangements satisfactory?”

Pei Jinye surveyed the artificial lake outside of Food Street. “Sun San, you’re a smart man, so I’ll be straight with you. As long as you take good care of my parents, I can ensure you stay out of trouble. But let me make it clear upfront, if you recklessly cause trouble with the big families, or do things under my name that aren’t right, you won’t need them to act— I will be the first to deal with you.”

“How could I, Brother Pei? I’m just a simple man. Becoming a small team leader at the Administrative Council was the luck of the draw. I definitely won’t do anything to offend anyone, let alone offend you. I have truly experienced the full extent of your methods…” Sun San quickly replied with a smile.

He paused, then added with emotion, “To be honest, having your word, Brother Pei, is enough for me. It’s easy to dodge open attacks, but secret strikes are hard to guard against. I’m afraid of inadvertently provoking someone, ending up dead on the street one day. Knowing high-level people like you, Brother Pei, must be the blessing of three lifetimes of cultivation…”

Pei Jinye was amused by his words, shaking his head and saying softly, “There’s no need for extra words. I’ll watch your performance.”

“Rest assured, Brother Pei.”

Right then, Pei Jinye’s phone vibrated. Seeing this, Sun San immediately kept quiet, not wanting to disturb. Pei Jinye answered the call and confirmed an address.

Soon after.

A luxury car worth more than three million appeared.

Tang Huoyang waved to signal, and Pei Jinye approached, saying irritably, “You really seem more anxious than me.”

“Ah, I heard Uncle Tang didn’t sleep again last night, felt so bad he wanted to commit suicide…”

“Is it that serious?”

“Ah, it’s a long story; you’ll know once you get there.”

“Then let’s go now.”

At a certain location in Food Street.

Sun San watched with his subordinates from the Administrative Council as Pei Jinye got into a luxurious sedan.

The subordinates were stunned: “Brother Sun, what’s the deal with that kid?”

Sun San snapped back to reality and lashed out with a kick while glaring fiercely: “Watch your language! What kid? That’s Brother Pei! If you want to die, don’t you dare drag me down with you!”

The subordinate hastily apologized with a laugh.

Sun San snorted coldly before returning his gaze to the departing luxury car.

His heart churned with surging waves.

Because he recognized the license plate of that car.

“Indeed, with Brother Pei’s abilities, even the young master of the Tang Family has come to call him brother… This move of mine was the right one!”

In a high-class villa district.

Pei Jinye saw Uncle Tang of the Tang Family, a middle-aged man who seemed as withered as an old man, sitting in a wheelchair, frail as a breeze. Despite his splendid attire, he spoke weakly, his eyes dark and sunken, looking as though he was gravely ill.

“Uncle Tang, let Old Pei take a look at you. My brother here is a prodigy even Teacher Chang has praised,” Tang Huoyang said.

When Uncle Tang of the Tang Family heard the name Teacher Chang, he gave Pei Jinye an extra glance, his dry and haggard face forming a polite smile: “So you are Teacher Chang’s beloved disciple.”

Pei Jinye shook his head: “You flatter me, Senior. If Uncle Tang doesn’t mind, I will perform hypnosis on you momentarily. Please do not resist.”

At the same time, he carried out the Psychic Power Identification Technique on the other man.

[0.4-3]

Very vulnerable…

“I understand…” Uncle Tang of the Tang Family answered with an indifferent expression.

He had been through such things many times before and had long since become desensitized.

Medically speaking, it was incomprehensible, and even the Transcendents couldn’t detect any anomalies. It wasn’t that he doubted Pei Jinye’s abilities, but his age was undeniable.

He didn’t want to brush aside his nephew’s dignity, nor did he want to offend Teacher Chang.

Tang Huoyang looked at Pei Jinye with hopeful eyes.

Pei Jinye took out a pocket watch he had bought at the roadside and stylishly began the hypnosis, with Uncle Tang of the Tang Family’s gaze fixed on the swinging pocket watch in mid-air.

He had always been unable to sleep.

No treatment worked.

Especially since the start of the month, his condition seemed to have worsened, and even the prescriptions from the hospital were no longer effective.

Seeing Pei Jinye’s prepared appearance, he couldn’t help but have a glimmer of hope.

But after waiting for a long time from left to right, that feeling of drowsiness still didn’t materialize; his sunken eyes were half-closed, but he was acutely aware.

He still couldn’t sleep!

He sighed inwardly.

It looked like it had failed again.

“You can sleep now.”

A voice suddenly rang out next to his ear.

Uncle Tang of the Tang Family was somewhat bewildered. He found the voice very familiar, yet he couldn’t remember where he had heard it. He strained to think, trying to figure it out… hoping to get to the bottom of everything…

Tang Huoyang suddenly looked shocked.

Because he watched as his uncle actually fell asleep.

He quickly looked at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye’s brow was furrowed, maintaining the posture of closed eyes.

The pocket watch in his hand continued to swing left and right.

Thinking Pei Jinye was using his powers, Tang Huoyang quickly closed his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Endless darkness with a miserable chill.

Pei Jinye appeared in Uncle Tang of the Tang Family’s dream. He looked around, and aside from the piercing cold wind, there was nothing else to be found.

“Where is he?”

Pei Jinye’s frown deepened.

In Uncle Tang’s dreamscape, the man himself was absent!

“Retrogression.”

Pei Jinye activated his ability.

He wanted to find a clue within this dream.

But even after retrogression, there was still only endless darkness.

One possibility remained… the time was too far-gone.

Tang Huoyang himself had said, his uncle’s symptoms appeared two or three years ago.

Unless Pei Jinye kept retrogessing two or three years back.

However, that would greatly drain his spiritual power, and with his current abilities, he couldn’t sustain such a high level of retrogression.

“Could it be a curse?”

Unexpectedly, the Blood spear then began to throb faintly.

Pei Jinye was afraid it would burst out and accidentally kill Tang Huoyang’s uncle, which would have exacerbated things tremendously.

He could only hold on to it tightly and carefully probe.

As the spearhead emerged, Pei Jinye was astonished to find that the Blood spear seemed capable of devouring the darkness.

The inexhaustible darkness was devoured… with no end in sight.

The Blood spear retracted back into Pei Jinye’s body, halting the consumption.

Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.

Noticing that Pei Jinye had opened his eyes, Tang Huoyang quickly looked over, fearful of waking his uncle.

Pei Jinye quietly said, “Your uncle’s situation is more complicated than I anticipated. I haven’t found the cause of the illness yet. I could only let him sleep for now.”

Tang Huoyang looked at his uncle and said with a sigh, “As long as he can sleep, it’s good. He probably hasn’t had such a good sleep in a long time… It’s just that I may need your help more in the future.”

“I don’t mind… It’s just that if I were a bit stronger, maybe I could have done something.” Pei Jinye shook his head, his mind, however, still fixated on the endless darkness he had seen in the dream.
